30 Day Photo Challenge {Days 8-14}

We're back with week two of the 30 Day Photo Challenge!

Last Wednesday, I shared days 1-7 of the photo challenge. Today I'm headed down the challenge list to share days 8-14 of the challenge. Many of these photos turned out to be close up shots, which are my favorite kind. I'm still learning how to adjust lighting, but I think I've got the focus down.

Day 8 (coffee, used basic editing)

Day 9 (someone I love loving someone he loves- this was actually a really tough one because Tucker was not staying still for the shot. I had to use my "sports" setting to snap a ton of pictures to capture one where his head and tail weren't just a big blur! Oh and please ignore the box of Cheerios on the floor by the way... it was meant for the recycling bin!, used basic editing)

Day 10 (Guess How Much I Love You, used gritty tool on Picnik)

Day 11 (in my office, used basic editing)

Day 12 (in my backyard, used cinema scope tool on Picnik)

Day 13 (Chateau St. Michelle- ok so I cheated on this one a bit! Thirteen wine corks, including one from a favorite winery we learned about on our west coast road trip... Chateau St. Michelle which counts for ME!, used basic editing)

Now it's time to hear from YOU! Grab a button and link up days 8-14 of the photo challenge.

Whether you were able to take all seven pictures in the challenge this week or just one, feel free to link up. And don't forget to let me know how the second week of the challenge went for you... what was your favorite picture to take? Did you have any problems with any of the challenges? More importantly, if you did have problems and sorted it out-- share your wise advice with us newbie photographers! I'll keep the link party open until next Wednesday, when we share week three of the challenge. Happy picture taking!

Very clever with the wine corks:) That was an awkward task, right??? Your puppy is so cute! I think my fave is your bad habit-looks very professional. Great job and thanks for hosting this challenge! I'm having so much fun.

Thanks for hosting! I think we are all getting to know a bit about eachother through our pictures. So fun. Our photo week started out the same. Very cool to see. Love all your pictures, very clever with the corks and-awwwww your sweet dog,he is smiling.

Great photos Michelle! I am in the midst of compiling 100s of pictures for the volleyball end of season video, so I didn't get a chance to get pics done this week. Hopefully, I will get it done next week. Such a fun series.

I love your day 13! I couldn't do a picture with myself in it so I included a picture of myself from my wedding day on the desk. And I almost included a Norman pic for the eyes too but I love Daniel's green eyes too much!
